Description
Wadhams Farmhouse is a farmhouse that is now derelict and used as an agricultural store. It likely dates from the mid-17th century and was enlarged by one bay to the east shortly after its construction. The building was refenestrated and had another bay added to the west in the early 19th century. It features roughcast over rubble and cob, with a wall in the end bay set at a slight angle. The roof is slate, and there are stone stacks located to the left of the cross passage, at the gable end to the right, and between the first and second bays on the right.
The plan consists of two cells and a cross passage, with coeval outshots that were enlarged to include a new kitchen to the right of the earlier one. There is also a store with a bedroom added over the left gable end. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five bays, with a 16-pane sash window on the first floor and a blind opening on the ground floor located in a gabled porch. At the time of the survey in June 1985, the building was much overgrown, and there was a large hole below the eaves that exposed a crumbling cob wall between the second and third bays on the left.
The interior was not accessible during the survey, but it is said to contain another plastered beam and a rod and daub screen on the rear wall to the left of the cross passage. There is also evidence suggesting that there was a drying kiln in the outshot, as well as a curing chamber beside the fireplace in the kitchen addition to the east.
